Simulate Key Held Down?

[MattGP]

Title. How do you simulate the space key being held down? Thanks!

There's a keyboard section in the API.

getKeyboard().pressKey(int keyCode)

When you want to release the key do:

getKeyboard().releaseKey(int keyCode)

Where do you grab the key-code values? I'm used to using javaFX for my applications, javaFX has an enum type KeyCode. 

Type methods are easy because they parameterize char/String variables.

java.awt.event.KeyEvent contains the key codes, such as KeyEvent.VK_SPACE would be space.

press key only presses the key once instead of holding it down when I did some tests.. is there some other way?

Hmm I'm not sure then, but why are you trying to simulate the space key being held down?

If it's for when you're talking to npcs look into the dialogue section of the API

Well for 1) tutorial island is always in dialogue so I thought it might be best to make my own complete dialogue and 2) a normal player would simply hold down space bar to go through dialogue!
